Love 2 The 9's Lyrics - Prince

U say that u love me like a river 

A river u say will never run dry 

I'd rather hear u say 4ever 

Instead of a smile I'd rather c u cry 

Don't use that magical, mysterious, 

Intoxicating joy, 

Fantastic, fascinating 

Word called love 

Unless u love me 2 the 9's 

This is the only kind of love 

That I've been dreaming of 

The kind of love that takes away 

Ur body, mind, and soul 

Love 2 the 9's, baby 

I wanna b loved 2 the 9's 

I wanna b loved, sugar 

I wanna b loved 4 all time

Baby, take a real good look at my face 

'Cause honey, it just might b the last time 

Maybe u should have played an ace 

Instead u played the queen 

U'd b better off cheating 

Than trying 2 read my mind 

Don't use that magical, mysterious, 

Intoxicating joy, 

Fantastic, fascinating 

Word called love 

Unless u love me 2 the 9's 

This is the only kind of love 

That I've been dreaming of 

The kind of love that takes away 

Ur body, mind, and soul 

Love 2 the 9's, baby 

I wanna b loved 2 the 9's 

I wanna b loved, sugar 

I wanna b loved 4 all time

Love me 2 the 9's 

Stay awake 4 14 hours 

Listen 2 the band 

A new power soul 

We got 2 get with this 

Dancing 2 the beat 'til we lose our mind control 

Can I get a witness? 

Looking 4 a lover with a body that says 

Some mo' 

I wanna c that booty boom 

B4 I even let her get close enough 2 smell perfume 

I'm looking 4 A.P.H.D. 

Ass Piled High and Deep, you c? 

I can't help it 

Like honey 2 a bee 

And if the booty boom, she gone come with me 

And then T'll whip out a thirty second questionnaire 

Machine gun a sister like he just don't care 

Machine gun a sister like he just gotta 

Just gotta, just gotta... hit it! 

Name: "Arabia" 

Age: "Jailbait" 

Occupation, if any: "Sex Symbol 2 many but I really got a beautiful mind" 

Fine, fine 

What sign u r? "Stop sign" 

Well what's ur favorite... car "Green... Rolls Royce" 

How many kids u got? "Egad! God, I'm shocked!" 

How many books u read? "Is Hemingway dead?" 

Who's the president now? "Does it matter... wow!" 

Then how u gonna make that booty boom? 

"How I'm gonna make that booty boom?" 

I said how u gonna make that booty boom? 

"How? I'm gonna make that booty boom. 

"Step back - give a girl some room!" 

Dance girl, let me c that booty boom 

Dance girl, let me c that booty boom 

Dance girl, let me c that booty boom 

Dance girl, let me c that booty boom 

Yo, check this out 

Would u hug me on a crowded street? 

Could u keep ur cool if I washed ur feet? 

And ur soul a bath, 

What if I gave it? 

Ur body I asked, 

How long could u save it? 

Would u lie down on a bed of thorns 

While I drink ur ocean dry? 

And if we said we loved each other, 

Instead of smiling, would u cry? 

Could u kiss 3 times with ur dress upside down, 

Stroking, laughing? 

Or would u stay awake 4 14 hours 

Listening 2 the grass grow? 

I ask thee: 

Would u, could u, will u 

Love me 2 the 9's? 

Would u, could u, will u 

Love me 4 all time? 

Would u, could u, will u 

Love me 2 the 9's 

"I'll love u 2 the 9's" 

Hunh...2 the 9's 

Hunh...4 all time 

Wanna b in love 2 the 9's 

Wanna b loved 4 all time 

You gotta, you gotta love me 2 the 9's 

Wanna be in love 4 all time, yeah 

Oooooh oh, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's 

2 the 9's, 2 the 9's, 2 the 9's 

Hey yea!
